Establishing and Managing the PMO

This course is currently only available as a private in-house training course. If you have a minimum of 4 people interested in this course, please contact method360 to see how we could help you with your in-house training needs.

Approach:

An interactive approach is used that engages participants in discussion of the relevant issues, and how to resolve them. Through group exercises based on a case study, participants will discuss and apply aspects from the course. The workshop material will reference current best practices from a number of global resources. A comprehensive set of course notes will be provided to each participant.

The course will show the types of support a PMO can bring to an organisation or company, together with its benefits. Checklists for PMO set-up considerations, terms of reference and a PMO organisation chart template are provided, which can be tailored by a company for specific use. These include sample roles, sample PMO functions, and a sample documentation standard.
